We Specialize In New Lawn Installation Using Seed Or Sod
Searching for new lawn installation near me?
Have you just built a new home and now want the property graded and a front and back lawn installed? Do you have an existing lawn that has been neglected and you’re tired of looking at the patchy, brown eyesore on your property?
Are you hosting an important event at your property and you want your lawn to look great? There is a lot to know about getting grass to properly take root and grow into a healthy, vibrant, lush green lawn. New lawn installation is not as simple as just laying down sod or throwing out some grass seed. There is a specific process that must be followed if you want your lawn installation to be a success and for the new lawn to look amazing.
Why Do You Need A New Lawn Installed?
- Do you need a new lawn for a new construction project?
- Are you trying to renovate an existing lawn that is in poor shape?
- Do you want to improve your properties appearance and curb appeal?
- Are you embarrassed about your lawn compared to your neighbors?
- Do you have an important event coming up and you want a beautiful lawn?
GCO Landscape is a landscaping contractor based out of Sharpsburg, GA and serving Coweta County and Fayette County including Peachtree City, Senoia, Newnan, Tyrone, and Fayetteville.
We specialize in new lawn installation for our residential and commercial clients using grass seed or installing new sod. From grading your property and lawn area for proper drainage, and preparing your lawn area with proper topsoil if required, organizing the installation of irrigation or sprinkler systems, and spreading the grass seed or rolling out the sod we can provide you with a beautiful looking new lawn.
Should You Use Seed Or Sod For Your New Lawn Installation?
This is a question our customers who want a new lawn area often ask us! The answer really depends on three things:
- How will the new lawn area be used?
- What is your overall budget?
- Are you under a time constraint?
If you have kids or pets that frequently use and enjoy your lawn area then keeping them off the newly seeded area could be a problem. If that’s the case, sod is usually a better option but installing sod is more expensive than traditional grass seed. With a new sod lawn you’re going to have a green lawn within a day or two and an even more beautiful lawn within a week or two of the installation.
It will look like beautiful grass from day one but you’ll still see the visible lines from the sod being rolled out. It takes a week or two for the grass to blend sufficiently so you won’t notice it.
With grass seed you’re looking at several weeks until you have a beautiful lawn and in many cases it's still not really any cheaper as you need to spend more time final grading a property for grass seed as it's a lot less forgiving than sod!
If you’re on a time constraint, let’s say you’re hosting a big party or a special event like a wedding on your property and you need it to look amazing for the big day, then sod is a much better, more predictable option.

This would be the cost for a property that was between approximately 1/4 to 1/2 acre in size. Irrigation, edging, and garden beds would be an additional expense.

This would be for properties larger than 1/2 acre in size. It would include front and backyard, edging, irrigation, and surrounding garden beds.
New Lawn Installations Include
There is more to new lawn installation than simply throwing out some grass seed or rolling out some sod. If you want beautiful, uniform, lush green grass, this must be done right!
Property Grading
Grading your lawn will include grading for drainage, and bringing in the necessary amount of topsoil if required (usually 3" to 6") and spreading it.
Irrigation
We can organize the installation of a lawn sprinkler system for your new lawn should you want to have your lawn irrigated.
Seed Or Sod Installation
Depending on which method you'd like us to do we will either spread out grass seed or roll out your sod for an instant lawn.
These prices are only ball park figures to give you a rough idea as to what you should expect for the cost of your new lawn installation. Your particular lawn installation project may vary depending on the site, the specific materials chosen, and the overall scope of work. If you need a firm price please request a consultation so we can view your potential project, listen to your ideas, and determine the actual scope of work required to install your lawn. After our on-site consultation we'll be able to provide you with a firm estimate to get your new lawn installed the right way.
We used GCO Landscape to add decking and landscape around our pool. Kevin and his crew put in quite a bit of very natural looking artificial turf and two putting greens. Wow do they look amazing. We could not be more pleased with the service and their expertise. We highly recommend them for your landscaping needs! Call them, you won’t regret it.
GCO was amazing. We had a ton of work to be done to transform our pit of a backyard into a useable space for the kids to play. Kevin met with us for the initial consultation and was extremely informative, gave us multiple options and was honest and straightforward on the details of each, including pricing. We ultimately had Kevin build a large retaining wall so we could extend our space out. The job required multiple truck loads of fill dirt to bring the area up to a leveled and graded surface. Kevin and his team wasted no time getting the wall in and filling the area with dirt. There were multiple challenges they faced like a very narrow access way from the front of the home to the backyard but they were patient and got it done. The attention to detail on the wall was impeccable. Kevin kept us informed of the progress, answered any questions we had, walked the site with me daily... a true professional. Next they laid approx 2700sqFt of Zoysia sod to bring the yard to life. We were so happy with GCOs work ethic and professionalism we decided to go ahead and have them replace all of our shrubbery around the house as well. Another area they shined in. Kevin spent a lot of time going over replacement options with us and even obliged us as we made small changes during that install work. In short, great company lead by an honorable man that is dedicated to his craft. Best experience I could have ever hoped for in a very large landscaping project. A+
GCO is top of the line. Kevin & his crew installed a perimeter fence for us & couldn't be happier with the outcome! Would recommend them for your fencing needs. They even came the next day to clean up the clay from post drilling-5 stars!
GCO put in my backyard fence. It turned out better than expected. Looks great!
We used GCO to install our fence and couldn't be happier with it. Kevin took time to make sure that we understood the entire process, since we are new to GA. We definitely recommend GCO to everyone.
From the first impression to finalizing the project, these guys were great. They were friendly, dependable, hard working, and efficient. Money well spent, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality work at a great price.
Very professional and timely! Outstanding work with a work ethic to match!
